THE class of 2020 should be proud of themselves, says Turton School pupil Ayesha Rauf.

The 16-year-old scored a fantastic 8 9s and a seven and will continue her studies at the Bromley Cross school.

The teenager was one of many young people celebrating the end of an uncertain academic year.

She said: “I feel ecstatic really, I am going to continue my studies at Turton Sixth Form.”

She added: “The year started off really well, then the pandemic happened, everything went a bit haywire.

“ But I think we are really lucky in that we got our centre assessed grades and the algorithm was scrapped.”

Ayesha said: “The Class of 2020 have done so well despite our bizarre circumstances and they should be so proud of themselves.”

In September she will be going back to the school to study sciences and English literature.

She said she will focus on her studies before making any decisions about the future.

Ayesha said: “I will be studying sciences and English literature and am looking forward to enjoying some normality.”
